METHOD

Warm 4 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan and sauté a small onion, finely chopped, for a few minutes until transparent. Add one large chicken breast, very finely chopped or minced. Sauté for another few minutes before seasoning with salt, pepper, 2 crushed garlic cloves and a good grinding of allspice. Add 400g brown basmati rice, butternut squash, 200g of frozen broad beans, the zest of a lemon and a pint of chicken stock. Simmer for 20 minutes and then turn off the heat. Cover and keep in a warm place for ten minutes for the rice to finish cooking in its steam. Season to taste and stir in a handful of chopped fresh mint and the juice of half a lemon.
